Please clap for yourself... Odeh.
Only daft people like you bribe customs instead of paying your duty the right way. Well as for me, you have a choice of moving to ghana or that cotonu while we build our economy ourselves. Or don't you even think of the dangers of smuggling? and please don't come back to say our Nigeria because the thunder that will fire you is called ancestral thunder!

IykeChukz:
Nigerians, let's continue to manage till 2019.

God knows we had not committed any crime against Buhari and his family.

Indeed, we'll have patience till 2019...unless otherwise!

The idea is to encourage local manufacturers which is good. Aren't you happy with the rice revolution? I am.

angelusbrut:

If you had any sense, you would know or would have been able to discern that the corruption, the gross inefficiency, the outrageous cost in time and money to clear goods at the ports is the number reason that people turn to smuggling goods through alternative means.

delishpot:

Mentality like this is why Nigeria was stagnant. So because you are not directly affected, you would sit and watch things happen without contributing in support or rejection?

refreshrate:


How is it that the Benin people can ship in cars to their country first, then Nigerians buy from them to bring into Nigeria which means two entries yet the cars are still cheaper than when it comes through Nigerian ports directly ?

Let's try to think things through before talking na

Kathmandu:
Can you kindly keep quiet. You applied for N-power 30k job and you know that you will need to save your two year salary without touching it before you can dream of doing window shopping for a toks car.


People like you with nothing to lose on this government obnoxious policies are the one drumming support for this government.



I won't mind paying you 35k per month to give up that N-power job so that your conscience will be free to condemn this atrocious govt.


Don't allow this N-power to be a Sword of Damocles over you.

Sorry, but you know, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is most likely a duck.

In my life experience, I have found that people who are quick to dish out general insults at Igbos, in fact, any tribe for that matter, are usually people who have insecure, deep unresolved psychological self-identity issues .

So, you have better do some introspection, to zero in on the root causes of your Igbophobia.
I am quite certain that no Igbo schoolyard bully had ever taken your lunch from you.

chiscodedon:

God bless you Mr Sensible man, am happy you used the word 'smuggling ' which I believe u literally know the meaning. so you would because the cost of rice in the market is high then legalize stealing it? am no fan of any politician but truth be told, if we keep on encouraging smuggling goods how then are gonna build, maintain seaports, you've been clamoring for more seaports, what then is the essence.you envy Americans,Asians,Europes but u don't bother to care what they passed through before they get where they are today.if we must grow Nigeria economy, drastic measures must be carried, this is one of them. you build your own economy not others, encourage local manufacturers,etc.. Nigerians we must suffer little for posterity to enjoy more, many that suffered, fought to make sure u are enjoying the peace in Nigeria today are no more,but they have left legacies,posterity now celebrates them. tnk u

I don't know from.what angle you have read my.posts here.
Let me put it in another way.

The economy, demand and supply, the market place, commerce does not yield to brooms and sticks. It yields to good , consistent policy.
Water must find it's level. Same with money, capital and commerce.
Command and control doesn't work.
It has never worked,. Not for America, not for Europe, not for any Asian economy.

Streamline the ports, and customs for efficient service delivery at reasonable costs, and VIOLA! You attract both domestic and foreign user.
Simple.

This present measure will only create many more multi millionaires and billionaires in the customs and border agencies.
You know this to be fact.

southpole:


Those cars imported through land borders are smuggled. by d way do yo know that when you buy a car through Cotonou you are paying custom duty twice? when a Cotonou man import from Europe for instance he pays custom duty to Benin republic govt and when you buy from them into Nigeria assuming you follow the proper channel you will pay custom duty to Nigerian government that amount to paying custom duty twice except the car is smuggled into Nigeria.But when such cars are imported directly to Nigeria sea port you don't have to pay another custom duty again since the importer has paid and such cars are healthier. Smuggled cars through land bordesr do not last long before they start giving the end users problems this is because such cars are usually driven into Nigeria through very bad and rough roads on very high speed and at the end of the day the money you could have used to pay your custom duties you will even add more to fix the car if it finally arrive your place.

datribune:


How difficult is it 4 d Federal govt to realize dat it is better to collect smaller import/custom duty but make it up thru larger import quantity than to lose most of it to Benin republic who ar smart enough to keep their duty low & get high patronage frm Nigerians.
Govt needs to be smart & cut Benin republic out of business. If Nigeria keeps d duty as it is, no law will stop importation, legal or smuggled thru Cotonou.
